My husband and I rented the Ranger Outpost cabin for 2 nights. We parked our car near the park office and hiked the 3.1 miles up Farley Ridge Trail to Almost Heaven and to the cabin. It is very nice, primitive and clean. No electricity or water so pack in food, water, bedding and lighting. The outhouse has a composting flushable toilet and plenty of toilet paper and is pretty nice. Bring lighting in with you. The cabin has 4 built in bunks plus another bed in the loft. Mattresses are pretty comfy for what they are. There are 2 windows with screens and a small one that opens but does not have a screen in the loft. Sleeping was comfortable when a breeze was blowing - a little warm when it quit. The fire pit has a grate and a bench like rock plus a smaller one to sit on near it. There was a big citronella candle inside and they had a bundle of fire wood on the porch for each night we stayed. There are 2 chairs and a small bench on the porch to watch the beautiful views, especially at sunset and sunrise as well as the bunnies. We took the table out to the porch during the day to play games and enjoy the outside. Saw lots of stars and even the Space Station one night. If you like backpacking but not sleeping in a tent I highly recommend this. And the staff were all super friendly and helpful.
